A, B: Trichuris trichiura eggs (wet preparation). The diagnostic characteristics are:
- a typical barrel shape
- two polar plugs, that are unstained
- size: 50 to 54 µm by 22 to 23 µm
The external layer of the shell of the egg is yellow-brown (in contrast to the clear polar plugs). The egg is unembryonated, as eggs are when passed with the stool.
